Ethical consumerism
Ethical consumerism, also known as ethical consumption, ethical purchasing, moral purchasing, ethical sourcing, or ethical shopping, is a type of consumer activism based on the concept of dollar voting, and is associated with sustainable and green consumerism. People engage in ethical consumerism by purchasing products or services that they consider to be ethically produced, such as goods associated with small-scale manufacturers, local artisans, animal welfare, environmental protection, or fair labour practices.
